would hit us as long as obama was president? we have been at war with terrorists 11 years and lost thousands of lives. i don't understand the point that graham is making, and the idea to question why did you put susan rice on the talk shows? administrations make decisions every week about who they will put out to repeat talking points. it doesn't really make much sense to me to be honest. >> to that end, then, amy, you have senator graham, other republicans, john mccain for one, they are calling for a special prosecutor. john harwood brings up these questions, but does it ego to the level of needing a special prosecutor? how far do you think this will go? >> clearly there is a movement on the republican side to keep this going. as we heard senators graham and mccain want a special investigation. we have representative mike enentire, the chairman of the house intelligence committee saying they altered the talking points to talk about this event after the fact. but on the other hand we have sax by sham bliss and joe lieberman says

when you look at the numbers here, president obama, 71%, romney, 27%. 67%, 31% obama and mccain. clearly, the latino vote continues to go to the democrats because of this hard line position that the republicans have. there's no better time to get the dream act, i would think. >> it should be pushed vigorously and i think it will be. there's a chance that some republicans will come over to the side of the democrats on this issue to get it passed. i think it will be quite difficult, but you always have to keep in mind about something like this, while it makes some sense for republicans to go over to the democrat's side to maybe pass a law like this and make it seem less toxic, it also gives the president a big victory that's not going to be lost on latinos who is really responsible for passing this act if it does pass. it will be through democratic initiative and democratic votes. that's not going to sit well with some in the republican party. so i think you just have this caught between a rock and a hard place problem with the republicans and latinos. no matter what they do, thing
